Help with Criteria?

[Dave]

Hi

I have a report that I want to print off however I need the user to specify
the date of the first part of the report. No problem I can drop a field on
the report =[myDate] and get the user to enter a date. However for the
second part of the report I want it to be headed the next day, now I have
tried to enter a field along the lines of =[myDate]+1 but it doesnt work!
(surprise, surprise). I guess it needs to specify the day part but I'm not
sure how to do it. I have formatted both boxes as short date.

Thanks

I have always belived in making my reports flexible.
Create a from with two unbound text boxes. Date 1 and
date2. Inb your report query put
[Forms]![NameOfForm]![NameOfTextbox]

It isn't clear from your description if you want a "two-date" report (date1
and date1 + 1), or if you want a report that starts each page with the date
following the preceding page's date (all dates on/after date1).

The solution offered by Chris handles the two-date situation.

If you want all dates on/after a given date, use a criterion in your query,
rather than your report.
